The stock tires are actual over priced for the price of the car and not the ultimate high performance tire by any means but pretty good.
The Michelin PS3 AS is nearly as high in performance but works in the cold and rain far better so it will provide more grip more of the time than a summer only tire. It is not a great snow tire but can get by in light snow OK, for those using their car in heavy snow regularly I would highly recommend real snow tires or at least Conti DWS
Some of us did not buy the car to be the absolute fastest it can be on summer only tires as we take our cars to the track which is the only place some of us want to see what it will really do. Autocross, road course, drag strip, rally cross, etc...and drive a bit more responsibly on the street thus not needing the summer only tires.
